To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, FREDiGUDGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cary, in the county of Bell and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Im-' provements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of"

' lower edges of the" liner ,8. This ball is which the following is a. specification.

This invention. relates to bottles, and particularly to that type of bottle wherein a ball valve is arranged within the neckof the bottle, and the invention aims primarily to provide a bottle of simple and improved construction which cannot readily be refilled after once being emptied of it's'original contents. I I

A further object of the invention is to provide a bottle of the'character mentioned which shall be of simple and inexpensive construction, and which can be manufac' tured without the use of complicated mechanism.

others which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the novel formation, combination, and arrangement of parts, all as will be described more fully hereinafter, illustrated in the drawings, and

particularly pointed out in the claims. i

In the drawings Figure 1 is a longitudinal'sectional view;

taken through a bottle constructed inaccordance with the present invention, the; view illustrating'the bottle in upright 'position,

Fig. 2 is a similar view bottle inverted, and e v r v Fig. 3 is a transverse'sectional viewtaken upon line 3-3 of Fig. 1. i

Referring now to the drawings, 5 indi cates the body portion of a bottle, and 6 the T1 neck thereof. The neck portion of the bottle, adjacent its juncture with the base or body thereof, is enlarged as shown at 7 and the valve for controlling-the flow" of liquid f to or from the bottle is arranged within this enlarged portion.

Arranged within the enlarged portion? of the bottle neck is a liner indicated at 8.

illustrating the partment formed by the enlargement The upperedge" of the liner" 8 is'se'rr'ated as in dicatedgat 9 while the lower edge remains jsmoothiiA ball 10 is confined within the valve chambeif and'is-limited initsinward and outward "movement'by the upper and slightly larger than the 'diamete'rof the liner g i at its upper and lower ends, andjit will be 1 ap'parentfthat when the bottle is. in '1 upright ,pos'1tion," the ball willrest upon the lower j inwardly protruding edges of the linen 7',

and willfeflectively close the bottleneck to the" entrance of fluid. w en the bottle is inverted, however, the ballaiwill rest upon;

the serratd edge of' the'liner, and fluid Thebaljl 10 may be formed of any suit- Y .4 able material suchas glass, porcelain, or the With these objects in view, together with non-shrinkable andf non-rustable material;

forced into the open en'd thereof and into' thecompartment'formed by the enlargement 7. The-iballfis then forced into the bottle neckand' beyond'the serrated 'upper end of the liner; After the ballhas been properly inserted within the. compartment, the ser-- rated endwill spring back into normal popreferred embodiment-' of the invention, it is elnfconstructing "the: bottle, the liner 8 is i sition, thus preventing theball from becom ing'rem'ovjed from the neck, l l v While jthe1above is a description of the ,1 w .85 obvious'thatyarious changes imthe. minor} details of construction; and arrangement of partsniayjbe resorted towithout departingfrom the-spirit of the invention as defined by 9 g the claims.- e What I claim is:--
